The Department of Classics offers several minors, which are open to all Undergraduate students regardless of major. A Classics minor offers students flexibility to explore different aspects of the ancient Mediterranean world, and to pursue interests like archaeology, ancient history, and classical literature.
Classics minors require a minimum of twelve (12) semester hours in Classical Civilization, Greek, or Latin:
MINOR IN CLassical Civilization
The minor in Classical Civilization requires twelve (12) credit hours of coursework, and consists of any four courses listed under the Classics Department’s offerings in classical archaeology, culture, history, and literature; two classes must be at or above the 3000-level. At least six (6) credit hours must be taken at FSU. With the approval of the department, appropriate courses in Greek and Latin (above the 2000-level) may be included in this program. Grades below a C- will not be accepted towards the minor.
MINOR IN Greek
The minor in Greek requires four courses (at least 12 credit hours) in ancient Greek (GRE/GRW). The sequence may begin at the 1000-level, provided this does not duplicate the world language requirements for the baccalaureate degree or other foreign-language requirements, or at any appropriate higher level. At least six (6) credit hours must be taken at FSU. Grades below a C- will not be accepted towards the minor.
MINOR IN Latin
The minor in Latin requires four courses (at least 12 credit hours) in Latin (LAT/LNW). The sequence may begin at the 1000-level, provided this does not duplicate the world language requirements for the baccalaureate degree or other foreign-language requirements, or at any appropriate higher level. At least six (6) credit hours must be taken at FSU. Grades below a C- will not be accepted towards the minor.
Although no courses used in satisfying major, foreign language, or general studies requirements may also be counted toward the minor, students can count courses that satisfy certain University requirements (such as oral competency) towards their minor. For the most up-to-date requirements for completing a minor, consult the General Bulletin, Undergraduate Edition.
Students do not need to meet with an advisor in Classics before deciding on a minor in Classics, but are encouraged to contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Classics with any questions or to discuss minor requirements.
